Rachael has written her fair share of books — 26, to be exact! And she even recently revealed that she's been writing another book during the pandemic. So it comes as no surprise that she's also a bookworm.
"My friend, Bob Schneider — who's actually a musician, not a painter — he made me wooden copies of some of my favorite books and they're all throughout our house," she says.
"I like to read non-fiction and thrillers," Rach goes on, "so that's where my headspace is at."
These are the books she's "gobbling up," as she says, right now. Plus, John chimes in with a few of his current picks.
1. Anything by Harlan Coben — most recently Win
"Win" by Harlan Coben
"Win" by Harlan Coben
"Harlan Coben, Harlan Coben, Harlan Coben," Rach says. "I got a galley of Harlan's new book. [He's] one of my favorite authors, and he's a fantastic thriller writer." (FYI—it's out now!)
"Win, I gobbled in literally a couple of days," she continues. "It's fantastic. That's his upcoming title. He'll be on our show in March, I believe."
"Of course, I love reading cookbooks," Rach says, "[like those by] Marcella Hazan."
3. The Obamas' Latest Books, Becoming and A Promised Land
"Becoming" by Michelle Obama
